Scientology: Ein Glaubensgefängnis (2015)

Scientology: Ein Glaubensgefängnis: Directed by Alex Gibney. With Paul Haggis, Jason Beghe, Spanky Taylor, David Miscavige. A documentary looking at the inner-workings of the Church of Scientology.

“This documentary is an extraordinary one, and has been attacked by Scientology for the simple reason that it exposes many of the destructive and sociopathic policies it mandates because they are Hubbardu0026#39;s orders, now etched on apocalypse-proof stainless steel plates.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only defense the u0026#39;churchu0026#39; can field is bold-faced denial and (as per Hubbardu0026#39;s unchangeable orders) relentless attacks on any who speak against it. It may come as little surprise that the u0026#39;churchu0026#39; actually provides specialized training and drills to help its spokesmen deliver blatant lies more believably.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe moral justification for telling these lies is built-in to Scientology and separates it from every other u0026#39;religionu0026#39; except for (predictably) Satanism, namely the fact that there is no overriding moral code forbidding murder, bearing false witness and the like.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHubbard wrote materials expressly for the public intended to give the appearance of morality and decency, but ultimately, whatever profits the u0026#39;churchu0026#39; is Good and whatever u0026#39;impedesu0026#39; it is Evil and no holds are barred where either is concerned. The result is the nightmare that is Scientology.”
